Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker, known for his emotionally charged and psychologically expressive artwork. He was a pioneer of the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey subjective and often raw emotional experiences through art. Munch's most famous work, The Scream, is an iconic image of modern angst and anxiety. Munch's personal life was marked by tragedy and turmoil, including the deaths of several family members and his own struggles with alcoholism and mental illness. Despite these challenges, he continued to create art until his death, leaving behind a significant legacy in the history of modern art.
